Hey guys! Hopefully you had a good christmas, I did :D
So anyhow, here is the third chapter of True warriors, and yes by request they will be longer :D
Aela paced back and forth through the living quarters of Jorrvaskr, she was tired of waiting. While on the hunt Aela was a very paitient person, however, when it came to her only love's health and life on the line, she was very impaitient.
It had been five hours since Aela had hauled the unconcious Ken from the plains of Whiterun upto Jorrvaskr. Tilma had then took Ken into the Harbinger's quarters with the help of Farkas while Ria and Vilkas kept Aela in the upstairs hall of Jorrvaskr, comforting her and keeping her from panicking.
It was very unusual for Aela to panic, she was a very calm, independant woman who prided herself on honor, strength and the hunt, so when Vilkas and the rest of the companions saw her in the state she was in it was a big surprise.
So here Aela was, pacing the hallways of the living quarters before pausing outside the harbinger's room, listening and then continuing, this cycle went on for several hours before Vilkas, the companion's most wisest, after Kodlak, stepped in.
''Aela, you shouldn't worry, Ken is strong. Besides Tilma reported no stratches or anything, he is just sleeping'' Vilkas said, grabbing Aela's arm. Aela pushed his hand off before setting down in a seat next to Ken's room.
''I know, but he has been asleep for a long time'' Aela said, crossing her arms as Vilkas sat down.
''He will wake up, gods he needs the sleep believe me'' Vilkas said, giving a chuckle.
''Yes I agree, all those tasks falling on the Harbinger must be quiet the burden'' Aela replied, nodding slightly.
''Yes well, being the Dragonborn and the Harbinger is quiet the job I believe'' Vilkas said, smirking.
''Do you think he misses anyone Vilkas?'' Aela asked, looking up at Vilkas who was looking down at his boots.
''I don't know sister, why?'' Vilkas replied, looking at Aela funnily, it had never been like Aela to ask such questions.
''I was just wondering, because you go on quests with him all the time do you not?'' Aela said, raising her voice a little to quell Vilkas's suspiciousness.
''He has never spoken a lot about his social life, never mind his interests in women...'' Vilkas said, looking up and giving a smirk at Aela knowingly'
''He came in with a woman when he came to join us did he not?'' Aela asked, as she recalled Lydia being by his side as he entered the mead hall.
''Aye, she was, quite the warrior in my eyes and probably Ken's. She must of held a special part in his heart, especially after Ken dragged her down from the freezing cold to give her a burial in the cloud district'' Vilkas replied, scratching his head.
''He must of held feelings for her...'' Aela said through gritted teeth, jealousy searing through her body at the thought of Ken and Lydia ravaging each other's mouths. She quickly shook the thought off, she did not actually have feelings for the Harbinger... did she?
''Oh indeed, but not as much as for you...'' Vilkas said, giving Aela a cheeky grin.
''What do you mean, brother?'' Aela questioned, hope was restored on her mind that she may have a chance of being the legendary Dragonborn's lover.
''Well he asked quite a few times if you were interested in any men or were in love with Skjor or something. He was probably listening to the whelp's chatter again'' Vilkas said, scratching he stubble he was determined to grow into a beard.
''For the love of Ysgramor, I was not in love with Skjor and never have been! I am in love with Ken and only Ken!'' Aela cried, slamming her fist on the table.
Aela and Skjor had been ordered to take out a bandit encampment in the Winterhold hold. However, their journey had been a cold one that set Skjor into hyperthermia on the night time were they were camped. To aid her shield brother and to make sure he survives in the cold they had sex in Skjor's tent to keep warm.
Aela and Skjor had claimed it was purely profesional and the last resort to keeping warm but the new bloods had other ways of twisting the story on their mind.
''Alright, Alright shield sister. Yes I do believe he likes you'' Vilkas said, giving a light hearted chuckle.
''Good'' Aela thought as she looked down at her boots. She actually had a chance and she would take that chance. Ken was a true warrior in her eyes, he was not a petty milk drinker and would not bow to anyone, not even the emperor of Tamriel. He was his own person and that was what Aela admired about him, he did not take shit from nobody.
''Better go see what the whelp's are up to, making fake stories no doubt, hm?'' Vilkas said, standing up and walking away, nodding his farwell to Aela, who reciprocated.
Aela stood up and opened the Harbinger's doors and closed them again, turning around to see Ken in bed, still asleep. Aela smiled to herself, this was the first time she had seen Ken sleep, while he looked peaceful, he also looked very deadly.
Aela walked around the bed to the empty section of the bed and crawled up to Ken on the bed and lay next to him on her side, tracing his scars on his shoulders and arms, he was a battle-hard warrior that had seen lifetime's of battle in only half a year of being in Skyrim.
Ken began scratching at the tickling sensation coming from Aela, whimpering slightly. This made Aela smile softly and chuckle, shaking her head in disbelief.
''Once a milk drinker, always a milk drinker'' Aela mocked. laying her head on his shoulder, watching him sleep.
''W-what did you call me?'' Ken whispered groggily, shifting his body, making Aela's head fall off his shoulder.
''Oh Harbinger... uh... How you feeling?'' Aela quickly said, picking herself up and slowly lifting herself up from the bed, but Ken grabbed her arm quickly.
''I know what you said to me Aela...'' Ken said, smiling lightly as he looked Aela in the eyes.
''Y-you did?'' Aela stuttered, wondering if he had heard her conversation with Vilkas.
''You called me a milk drinker!'' Ken cried before sitting up in bed, the covers still covering his torso. Aela admired his chest before meeting his eyes which were gazing up at her thoughtfully.
''And that you said you loved me, out in the plains...'' Ken added, smiling at Aela who was going a slight shade of crimson.
Without another word Aela smashed her lips to his, making Ken's eyes widen for a second before closing them in peace. Aela put her hands on his chest, feeling his scars on his well-toned chest before straddling him as they kissed passionatly.
''I love you too Aela'' Ken said after they had broke apart from the kiss a few minutes later.
Okay so there is your longish chapter, I'll try and write more when I think of the next chapter's contents, which will probs take a few more days aha. So anyway, don't forget to review and suggest what the next chapter should be about, I don't want Ken and Aela to get married JUST yet, maybe in later chapters haha.
See ya ;)
